Chaplin the Convict, 8 March 2002
Author: The Black Englishman from London, England

In this two reeler, Charles Chaplin is the convict on the run from the law. He hides under a bed of sand (admirably), comes up, only to discover a double barreled shotgun pointing at him. When he escapes from this scenario, he virtually flies up a cliff which, although, impossible, works well in a silent comedy.
